Heather Cranmer (2721 KP) rated Midwinterblood in Books
Jun 7, 2018
A real page turner! I've had this book for awhile and having read White Crow by Marcus Sedgwick and loving it, I decided to give Midwinterblood a go.
What am amazing book!! I finished it in less than 24 hours! It's like reading a bunch of short stories that are part of one big story.
I'd definitely recommend this book as it's definitely one of my now faves =)

I actually thing I like this better than they both die at the end now - after reading this it makes you think about your life - I mean, I was in his place years ago and it brought back so many memories - pushing past your fears/issues and moving into a new phase of life is so astounding sometimes - anyone with depression should truly read this book - it's absolutely spectacular.

Savage
This is such an original idea. The novel is set in a post apocalypse of sorts, where violent acts create physical monsters that terrorise a divided city. I've never read anything like it before; it was brilliantly written, and left me wanting more from the characters (I'm just starting on the sequel, and can't wait to see what August and Kate are up to now!).
I’ll be honest, and my best friend Cheyenne is going to kill me for this, but when I first started reading this at college, I absolutely hated it. Now I can put that just down to the fact that I naturally expected to hate any book we had to learn about in English. Because I love Rebecca and wouldn’t be able to cope without it.
Essentially, it’s an adaptation of Jane Eyre (which I LOVE). I always joke that it’s fanfiction that has become a classic (if only). I didn’t actually read Jane Eyre until after I had read this for the first time, but the book made so much more sense to me then.
The nameless narrator is brilliant, if a little bit childish. I can remember the first time I read it, it really annoyed me that she whined like a child a lot. But then again, when your new husband is still obsessed with his dead wife, who wouldn’t complain?
I fell in love with Maxim in the same way that I fell in love with Mr Rochester. They are so similar – all dark, mysterious, and brooding… what every girl wants in a book! Even through the whole plot, I found it impossible to ever dislike him, despite some of the events. I’m not sure why.
I love that there’s so many different meanings of the book. Spending one year analysing it in college was never enough for me – I’m still constantly digging out new meanings, especially now I’ve got a friend who loves this even more than I do.
I almost always take this to Cornwall with me to re-read on a miserable day. It’s the perfect place to read this book and I can always snuggle down with it.
This is something everyone should read at least once in their life.

It allows for an awesome and technical approach if you find yourself among those who crave the purest racing simulation worthy of Codemasters' reputation, but Dirt 4 now invites others less experienced to the table with alternate driving modes.

Rainbow is also a transmutation of Kesha’s own persona — the dollar sign now revealed for the profanity it always was. We began to see this Kesha, a lady of sorrow and of joy, on the gorgeous, show-stopping, melancholy

Emotional, intriguing and twisty
Well written, smooth story lines, didnt seem unrealistic or cheesy, could not put down. Literally read it in 1 day while hosting a yard sale. The plot is good and keeps you on edge of seat but makes you really feel for the characters. Now I really want to watch the show.
